Always is risk brick your device.
A lot people already unlocked their bootloaders without any problems.

Depends on how you unlock it.
Correct, unlocking at se website will lose DRM functions and unlocking with setool will keep these
believe me you can get more from your arc when its bootloader is unlocked! i didnt find any risk or disadvantage!
The little things you lose by deleting DRM and unlocking the bootloader a really worth it!
Kernels, recovery, my Arc is better than I expected it to be now

SeTool
Jinx13
Side effects are that these things are not working anymore:
Like button in stock music app, Track ID, SEUS and you don't get that much information displayed in contacts for conacts linked to Facebook, just the birthday and not all the other stuff which isn't that bad to me. Still syncs the calendar with their b-days and displays all the rest like lockscreen notifications etc

I held off a while but eventually took the plunge, the advantages have so far definitely outweighed the negatives. I didn't find myself using the app's that you lose (in fact I found the facebook integration very intrusive/annoying) so it was a no-brainer for me and having a custom kernel has made it into the phone it should have been from the factory..

Anyways now it ask for google acct and we never set one up. Is there anyway i can just start phone all over from factory. Thanks in advance
Re-install the firmware with flashtool
Use pc companium from official sony erricson web site
If you have usb debugging enabled you can remove lockscreen through usb

You may need to use flashtool
Okay so if I have this right you say this phone was used right? right. Okay moving on. You will need to re-flash the phone.
Your going to have a lot of difficulty to get the phone re-flashed.
For your connivance I am going to try to link you the Xperia play flash tool.

Hi I was just wondering if there is any way to unlock the bootloader on the R800at. I know you cannot normally do it but what if I flashed a ROM with flashtool that was of a PLAY that could be unlocked? (i.e. R800i, 4.0.x firmware) sorry if this sounds like a noob question :-/
Sent from my R800at using xda app-developers app
You can only unlock via testpoint unlock, which costs $24. Flashing different firmwares won't do anything to help you there. You can do the testpoint unlock here: http://unlock-bootloader.com/
i don't mean to be rude, by commenting on someones post, just didn't see the point in making a new topic if there's already one here.
I have the R800i, I am happy with my play but if i wanted to unlock my bootloader, what would i have to do, is this possible, can i do it myself? or would i have to pay for someone to do it like above?

Now, I might be wrong here, someone correct me if I am, but from what I've been told. The R800i isn't locked to any specific carrier, therefore it can be unlocked for free thru a computer program.

most of r800i can be unlocked for free but some with bl unlock allowed= no(type *#7378423*# see in configuration) cannot be unlocked for free they require se tool to unlock via testpoint. and carrier unlock is completely diff from bl unlock
Edit: actually its *#*#7378423#*#* [service] and you dont have to hit call button after that it automatically opens configuration
What would you need to use to unlock the bootloader of the R800i?

There is a way to find out if your bootloader is unlocked if it says no you can't do it yourself but can pay for it, if it says yes you can do it with software, but when i enter the numbers to bring up systen config to find if it's unlocked it says it's 'connection problem or invalid mmi code'? i must be missing out something but i have tried loads of times.
I have tried getting it up using '*#7378423*#' and '*#*#7378423#*#*'
I don't know, have you tried googling the issue?
*#*#7378423#*#* works fine for me

Are you pressing call one you enter the number? You shouldn't do this, the service menu should pop up by itself. Also, try entering the plus sign before entering the code (although I'm not sure this will work) or try to enter a comma after the code
You could also try asking in this thread:

I enter the code leave it the code disapears and just leaves the dialler, nothing happens!
Have you tried the other 2 things?

Thanks for your help, i have tried the + first it doesnt do anything and i cant find a comma on my dialler, what if i just go ahead and try and unlock it?
I don't know the answer to that, sorry.
The other thing i can advise you is to try googling the issue and making absolute sure you are typing the code in right

If you are sim locked then dont try it bcoz you can loose phone singnal even if you unlocked sucessfully and if not after repairing it you will have no signal
edit: just realized you have r800i i.e not sim locked probably so you can try unlocking it if anything goes wrong ther is a fix for it too. most probably semcboot can be damaged which is less likely to happen
then also I say try it at your own risk first double check everything and try to type *#*#service#*#* again and again:-/
